  5. Nice custom, & the colours are spot on.
  6. Eureka! I knew he look very familiar, his likeness came through well in the figure.

    Did you swap out the VF-1A head from an Origin of Valkyrie Max Super, or did go the longer route and paint a VF-1S? If the latter, that's an excellent color match.

  10. @M'Kyuun Thrust is still available to preorder on Target's site just in case you change your mind.
  11. Preordered Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin. Missed Max Shreck and skipped the Commando Penguins and The Duck with Penguin.

    Custom VF-1S Max Reissue.
  13. Man, my copy of Thrust was unceremoniously cancelled and I missed the window to reorder him, so he's the only one of the six main Seekers I don't have, and he also just so happens to be my favorite of the Conehead designs. However, with the SS86 Seeker on the horizon, it's not unrealistic to think that they'll milk that mold for all it's worth, and from what I've seen, while it's still not a completely accurate F-15, it' does appear to be somewhat better than the ER Seeker mold, partsforming stabs notwithstanding. I've lived without ER Thrust this long; I'm thinking I may just hold out for the inevitable SS86 variants. If I didn't know that the one on the right is the Studio Series figure, I'd swear it was one of their lesser toys for younger collectors. Compared to all the surface detail and greater number of paint apps to represent both OG toy and toon, the SS86 figure looks drab, the milky white plastic looks cheap, I'm not too crazy about how the feet and their hinges look, and the overall toonish plainness doesn't appeal. I missed the PO on Pulse, and maybe that was for the best, as right now I'm liking how my Netflix Soundwave looks better, crappy holdover arm kibble notwithstanding. For $60, I want something better. Once again, I wish Magic Square or New Age would release more of their figures in CHUG scale, as one or the other often creates a nigh perfect version of a character and I'd love to them available as options for my CHUG shelves. @mikeszekely I appreciate your writeup of Micronus Prime. I'm neither a UT fan nor an ardent fan of the greater TF lore as it has been presented in comics and other media, but there's just something creatively charming about this guy and the armor they cooked up for him. I concur that it's a cool play pattern and it elevates what could have been a relatively simplistic figure into something greater. My interest in the Primes has been tepid at best, as Alchemist is, to wit, the only one I've bought thus far, and I got him more for his resemblance to Prime Bulkhead than out of any interest in the character himself, mostly. He does have a neat look about him with his goofy steampunk goggles. I'm digressing, but, yeah, Micronus struck a chord with me when they revealed him in the fanstream. I wish there was just a pinch more complexity to the bike mode's transformation but given that the bike was a totally made-up thing to accentuate the principal figure, and at a deluxe price point no less, I shan't criticize too harshly. Kudos to Takara for thinking outside of the box, or three-dimensional disc as it were.
  14. Sweet. Thanks. Was about to pull the trigger on the 3rd party arms for more G1 accuracy but saw a lot of the grey plastic discolored now. I POd new soundwave at enteaerth but has anyone else had a problem with Amazon? I've seen it available about 4x. Every time I try to order it hangs and glitches until it's no longer available after a few minutes of trying.
  15. Now that's some disappointing news.
